Field of Dreams

That's the name of the dog park in San Rafael. We went there on Monday to get out of the house, since our construction crew worked over the weekend. Let's just say I'd hardly call it dreamy. It was a bit rough for our little precious . Anyway, Cole got a B+. We were quite proud that he sniffed some butt, hopped into the car on his own, and well, didn't get humped. In typical herding fashion, he wasn't that social and just stood there and barked most of the time and preferred that I catch his ball instead of him.

We tried. I think it made him happy.

24 Weeks Bump

Hit the six month mark this week!

Rain DOES do good things!

In case you live in a cave and haven't heard it's been raining in CA for over a week now. Some days non-stop. Lucky for me, I missed a few days of it while I was in Minneapolis for work. Enjoying winter in MSP rather than in SFO? Crazy, right?

Anyway, John discovered something beautiful on his bike ride this afternoon. A waterfall at the top of street created from all the water accumulation from the hills that surround our neighborhood.

Pretty awesome.

21 Week Bump

Holy Cow! I'm getting big!

Lake Tahoe

Isn't this an amazing view from the deck of the place we stayed at?

We had a lovely time visiting with Tim, Anna, Jackie, Anna's parents, her sister and brother-in-law and some of their friends from college.

Settled a lot of Cataan, played Apples to Apples, drank a lot of Sparkling Apple Cider, made stew, went on a walk in the snow, and got a lot of rest.

Couldn't have asked for a better way to ring in 2010!

Santa Came to San Diego

We did it! We grew lemons!

We even used them on our salmon on Monday night. They are delicious.

California livin' at it's finest.
